About Shushanik
Shushanik Gasparyan is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people facing hard moments. She focuses on building a trusting space where someone can talk through difficult feelings like depression, anxiety, trauma and grief. Her manner is calm and practical, aiming to make conversation feel straightforward and safe.
She draws on eight years of experience working in agency settings in the United Kingdom. That work included projects with international organisations addressing child abuse and roles providing psychological support to a range of adults.
Background and approach
Her background means she is used to helping people with life changes, relationship strains, parenting stress and recovery after trauma. In sessions she combines client-centred listening with narrative and psychodynamic ideas.
That mix lets her follow what matters most to the person in front of her, look at the stories someone tells about their life, and notice patterns that affect mood and relationships. Conversations focus on what the client wants to change and small steps they can try between sessions.
She also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, addictions, anger, low self-esteem and difficulties such as obsessive thoughts or feelings of emptiness. Work with her includes practical coping strategies alongside reflection about past experiences that still affect the present. Sessions are offered in English and Armenian.
Shushanik is registered with the BACP, and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as with international clients.

Approaches Shushanik lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Psychodynamic ideas are also part of her approach and help when patterns from the past continue to affect current moods and relationships. Together these approaches give options: simple coping strategies, new ways of making sense of events, and attention to deeper patterns. Choosing the right mix is a collaborative process and she will work with the client to find the best fit for their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper contact, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging or live chat can suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These formats make it possible to keep continuity of care across locations and timezones, and to choose what helps someone engage best with the work.
